• When Jolly Jack Adams, for 29 years
leader of Detrvit's, powerful hockey
forces, swept throngh his Stanley Cup
champions of this year, and traded oil
half a dozen of them including his
fabulous goaler, 'rem Sawchult, casual
hockey fans wondered if he wasn't
wrecking a great machine.
But owners and leaders of competitive teams uneasily
tightened their belts and donned their armor to cope with
the new Red Wing dynasty, knowing full well that the
shrewd, and daring Adams makes few, if any errors in his
re-building, programs, Almost invariably he comes up with
something better than before.
Jack Adams ,knows his hockey from the ground up.
Late in the season of 1917-18 the Fort. William native broke
into the new National League with Toronto Arenas and his
debut came amid stormy scenes. The Arenas were playing
off for the League title with Montreal Canadiens in a 2-game
series. The Toronto team won the first game on home ice 7-3,
Canadiens believed they could make the Arenas quit and
overcome the 4-goal deficit on Montreal ice. Into this situ-
ation, fraught with possibility of mayhem, came the tow-
headed young Adams. Arenas survived a rough, slugging
game, Adams scored two goals, and Arenas went on to win
the Stanley Cup from Vancouver.
Adams is a man of many facts. Jack the Jolly can turn
has achieved in Detroit. It is the United States capital of
the hockey world, and Adams invariably has teams not only
of efficiency, but colour. His,, teams have won the National
League title eleven times, including seven straight up to
1954-55, and the Stanley Cup seven times.
Adams is a man of many facts. Jack the Jolly can turn
into a grim fighter. Conversely, he is a man of deep religious
convictions and practice. He abhors foul language and once
fined a player for swearing, bonused another to keep his
epithets silent, Above all, he's 'a master craftsman in the
business of building champion hockey clubs.

OFF QUEBEC — An artist's impression of the new 22,000-ton Cunard liner Carinthiq heading for
Montreal as she will look, from the historic Citadel at Quebec. The Carinthia, to be named by
Princess Margaret at John Brown and Co. (Clydebank) Ltd., Dec. 14, will sail from Liverpool
June 27, 1956, on her maiden voyage to Quebec and Montreal. The new vessel is the, third
of four fast 22,000-ton Cunarders, largest ever built by the company for its Canadian service.
One of the less endearing
habits of those who' live cuts*
the law is the practice, adopted,
by some of them, of putting
goof ,pills, ''en Shee, or just
plain knockout drops in a drink
intended for a victim.
The practice is as old as crime
and is constantly recurring. The
methods and ingredients are
various and exotic, ranging from
the ancient method of dropping
Snuff into the victim's beer to
the administration of a modern
drug,
One of the oldest methods is'to
lace a Bring with laudanum.
This was used by Burke and 1,,
Hare who stupefied their victims
before suffocating them and sel-
ling the bodies to 'medical Atu-
dents, In 1839, John Stewart. of
Edinburgh, and his wife were
executed for killing a man they
met on a steamer from Buie to
Glasgow. They had only meant
to pour out enough laudanum
to quieten him while they took
his wallet, but the rolling of the
boat caused them to pour out
enough to kill a ship's company
Another method was to con-
peal a morphine pill under a
ring on the finger and, drop it
in someone's drink, but the
practice did not find favour as
a morphine pill does not readily

Was Hitler ,Rilled,
In a Submarine?
A few minutes before half-
post three on an April after-
WO ten years ago Adolf ait-
ler shot himself in the Fuhrer-,
bunker beneath the Chancel,
Tory in beleaguered; Berlin, On
a sofa near-by Eva Braun, the
woman he had married two
days previously, swallowed poi-
son,
Soon after the pair bed coin-
milted suicide their bodies were
carried into the Chancellory
garden, drenched with petrol
and set alight, Subsequently the•
charred corpses were buried -in
the shell-torn earth,
That is the official version
of what happened to Adolf
" Hitler and his ill-starred bride.
Yet no .trace of the remains
of either has ever been found.
And, apart from some conflict-
ing statements Made after the
Nazi surrender by a number
of Chancellory guards and sec-
retaries who were present in
the Bunker, there is no actual
proof that the corpses they saw
burning on that sombre April
day were in fact those of Hitler
and his mistress.
Now consider the following.
In 1949 Captain Peter Baum-
gart, a former Luftwaffe pilot,
stood in the dock before a Po-
lish court on a war crimes Backward Writers
People who write backwards
are becoming rarer, according
to a handwriting expert. He was
commenting on the case of a
Pasadena woman who boasts
that she can write backwards
almost as rapidly as she can
write forwards.
"I read•my backward writing
by holding it before a mirror,"
she says. "During the war I used
to write long letters backwards
to my husband when he was
overseas."
Some years ago a Devon serv-
ant, aged twenty-eight, sud-
denly began to write back-
wards, hold books the wrong
way up to read and spell words
in reverse after an illness. Doc-
tors put her under "light hyp-
nosis" and suggested that she
would be able to read, see and
write normally when she awoke,
The treatment was successful.
People who naturally do this

from a peculiarity in the de-
velopment of the visual centres

the sleeper by bringing him to
a sitting position.
A Bohemian dockmaker in-
vented a lullaby clock to put
people to sleep with a gentle
tune on a musical box—and in
the morning, byway of con-
trast, the same clock set off a
combination of drums and cyin-
b a is playing •a thunderous
march.
Nor could a n y one sleep
through a campaign clock used
in 1815 that awoke the sleeper
by igniting a charge of gun-
powder.
No one knows who invented
the first alarm clock. But the
Romans had a water-clock that
pulled a cover off a bird-cage,
automatically awakening the
sleeper with bird-song.
UNCLE TOM
Mr. Honeyfuggler is looking
for a new job. He lost his old
one when he thoughtlessly in-
troduced his bird-brained bride
to the head of the firm at an
office get-together. "So you're
my Henry's boss," gurgled Mrs.
Honeyfuggler. "He's told me so
much about you, Mr. Legree!"
This Was Before
The Age of Speed
Tine had carried no torpedoes
on her last voyage. In their
place the torpedo compartment
was stacked tightly with cans
of food,
The amount was far greater
than could possibly be needed
by a submarine setting out on
patrol.
As the loads of scrap metal
from the wrecked vessel were
brought ashore, Danish police
scrutinized each piece careful-
ly in an endeavour to establish
the identity of the U-boat, but
without success. No traepe has.
been fotmd. pf, a „ log-book or
any ,of •the shin's usual papers.
Then;-in" Wet second of the
wrecked submarines Captain
Olsen of the, ealvage vessel Kir-
sten J4nsen made another
strange discovery. It was ',half
of a woman's floral patterned
cotton skirt. Captain Olsen,
who has worked on several
German submarine wrecks, de-
clared, "This is the first time
I have.foUnd any traces of wo-
men• having been on board."
The U-boat is still unidenti-
, fled. Some 'human bones have
been brought to the surface,
also a asmask and a piece of
material bearing the name "Do-
mogalski."-But no further 'clue
as to what passengers, if any,
she carried.
So there it is. Did Hitler
commit suicide in his Berlin
Chancellory as the world offi-
cially believes, or did he flee
from the doomed capital, de-
termined to make his way to
South America by U-boat, tak-
ing with him the woman 'who
had remained faithful to him?
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING
Many of our readers' will call
to mind the boyish wonder and
awe with which they were wont
to listen to the reminiscences of
some ever memorable journey-
ing exploit performed more
than half-a-century before by
some venerable village patri-
arch, or city Methuselah; the
months he had spent in antici-
pation, and the weeks in anxious
prparation; how he had gone
about taking tender and dolor-
ous farewells of friends and
neighbours; . .
Why, twenty miles were
deemed a good day's progress
in those lethargic times, even
when traversing the choicest
roads. In the reign of Charles
II, the stagecoach which ran
between London and 'Oxford
equireci two days for a jour-
ney which is now effected in
about two hours on the Great
Western line. The stage--to Ex-
eter occupied four days. Even
so recently as 1703, when Prince
George of Denmark visited the
stately mansion of PetWorth
with the view of meeting
Charles III. of Spain, the last
nine miles of the journey took
six hOurs. Several of the car-
riages employed to convey his
retinue were upset. An unfortu-
nate courtier in attendance com-
plains that, during fourteen
hours, he never once alighted,
except when the icoach over-
turned, or stuck in' the' nand. •

day at the office was capped by
his wife's announcement that
the maid had walked out.

charge. In his evidence Baum-
gart imparted some startling
information.
On April 28th, 1945, he had
flown a 'plane from Berlin to
an airfield in Denmark, he said.
On board were Hitler and a
party of high ranking Nazis. Al-
so among the party was one we-
man. He believed she was Eva
Braun.
The aircraft landed inside the
Danish border some miles north
of KieL There Hitler shook
hands with the pilot and gave
him a cheque for $15,000. Then,

where they boarded a subma-

To Get You Up
Can you get up easily in the
morning? If not, you need a
super alarm clock like Ted
Mahon has invented.
Steel-worker Ted was losing
$3 a week by being late for
work or missing, a shift because
he couldn't get up in the morn-
ing. Now he has provisionally
patented a new-type alarm that
whisks the bedclothes off his
bed.
"It's the complete answer to
absenteeism," says Ted. "And I
reckon it's saving me $150 a
year."
The alarm sets off an electric
motor that draws in the strings
attached to his bedding. It's as
simple as that. Yet all through
• the centuries men have been
inventing—and sleeping through
—gadgets to help them out of
bed.
The creeks had a sun-clock
that doused the sleeper with
water. King Alfred, it's said,
failed to hear an alarm bell, so
he used to keep a night candle
burning that ultimately set fire
to a bundle of straw. His sense
of danger, he found, proved the
surest 'alarm of all,
